Harriet Harman told Labour activists that their successful conference had put
the party in with a fighting chance of winning the next election outright.

Labour’s deputy leader said that baseball fan Ed Miliband had “knocked the
ball right out of the park” with his leader’s speech on Tuesday, when he
proclaimed the birth of One Nation Labour.

Ms Harman shut the door on more coalition talks with the Liberal Democrats
with a snub to the Lib Dem left winger Vince Cable, who joked in his speech
last week that Mr Miliband was trying to text him.
